Microsoft SharePoint

Have you been asked by your IT director to provide a SharePoint platform? Do you have SharePoint installed but aren't sure how to get the best performance? Are you struggling for SharePoint adoption within your business? We can help.

Features

SharePoint is a great business collaboration platform but its breadth of functionality means that it isn't a simple turnkey solution.

Think SharePoint sites all look the same? Think again. Take a look at these stunning examples:

Web Parts

When SharePoint lacks a crucial feature you need then Web Parts come into play. Web Parts are small, specialised components that can be added to the pages of your Sharepoint installation, upgrading its functionality to do whatever you need.

Custom Workflows

For businesses who need automation in order to achieve radical cost savings, SharePoint contains an extensible workflow engine that can perform very sophisticated tasks automatically. We specialise in programming this engine to make it do what our clients need.
